Yes, you can generate end-to-end application level traffic that the network would experience from a client and server perspective with IxChariot and measure the performance (response time, transaction rates, etc.). Using protocol analyzers, you can tap into the network and identify the source of performance bottlenecks. For more information, download The Synergy of Chariot and Protocol Analyzers (PDF) White Paper. Q: Can IxChariot be used to validate QoS policies? A: Yes, IxChariot can generate the end-to-end traffic for a particular mission critical application that the network would experience from a client and server perspective. Next, you can generate a mixture of other business application traffic such as email, web, FTP, etc. to congest the network. Setting high priority QoS values on the mission critical application, you can validate proper QoS implementation and application delivery.
